Re: disk array compatible with K class server
So the only option is Fibre Channel. In all cases you will need the FC HBA A6685A for you K-Class.
The possible arrays can choose of are:
1. VA7110, scales from 4 up to 45 Fibre Channel drives of either 36, 73 or 146GB.
2. VA7410, scales from 10 up to 105 Fibre Channel drives of either 36, 73 or 146GB.
3. EVA3000, scales from 8 up to 54 Fibre Channel drives of either 36, 73 or 146GB.
4. EVA5000, scales from 8 up to 240 Fibre Channel drives of either 36, 73 or 146GB.
All four systems are Virtual Arrays which ease up administration and are very well suited for heterogeneous environments.
Note:
- EVAs can only be SAN-attached meaning you need switches in any case. EVA are supported with HP-UX 11.0 and up. For multipathing you need SecurePath software.
- VAs can be either SAN or direct attached to a server! VAs are supported with HP-UX 10.20 and up. For multipathing you can optionally use SecurePath or you can use the native alternate pathing from HP-UX (PVLINK)

Re: disk array compatible with K class server
Unfortunately it is obsolete for quite a while.
What you can try is to get a used or renewed one!
The disadvantage is that you get an "old" system where upgrade parts are hard to find.
Support is also a topic to look at.
Cheers
Peter

Re: disk array compatible with K class server
If you play by the rules (allocate only about half the available space as LUNs so that the array stays in RAID 10 at all times) and fully utilize both extern SCSI buses with separate controllers, these old gals will actually perform quite well. On the other hand, if you push them into significant RAID5 and don't split the SCSI data over both external paths then you will have a real dog. Rather than maintenance, I would simply buy an extra array or two -- they are that cheap.
